Important Added Info: Note that this is a great two-page trade ad taken out of a Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine. Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad was removed from a 1955 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured those back pages because the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures 11" x 16 3/4".

Condition: good to very good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). It was the centerfold of the magazine so the two pages are on a single sheet, and there are staple holes at the spine (see our image). There is surface paper loss across the back of the spine which has caused the pairs of staple holes to very slightly enlarge but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition.
